Right - need some advice as I'm totally lost on this topic.
Plans for this year : Cairngorms Loop, Fort Bill - Findhorn and BB 200, next year ? Highland Trail
Have never used a GPS and want to make sure I get the right thing.
Was seriously considering a GArmin GPS 62 s with full Uk 1:50 discoverer mapping which I can get for £389 with £50 cashback - is this what i should plop for.
Also anyone know any cheeky (i.e. cheap sources) for SPOT trackers ?

I use an Oregon 450 which does navigation, better than the Edge's, which do personal training and a bit of nav.


For spots,
Cactus Navigation,

I am thinking of mounting my iphone on the handle bars in a waterproof case and using outdoors gps app, which has os maps. has anyone seen this done, is it effective?

Also any advice on mounting systems and iphone cases?

Prob OK for short rides but my iphone currently lasts < 10 hrs per charge..

Cheapest for SPOTs seems to be eBay seller http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/cactusnavigat ... 4340.l2559. Prices vary day to day, but I got mine for something under £90..
